Richard Halliburton was my childhood hero. I came across The Royal Road in an ancient junkshop at fifteen . . within a year I had all of his books except the letters, which I still can't find . . A year later my family went to Europe, and I, like Halliburton swam round Chillon, and read Byron in the depths of the great castle's dungeon. Rupert Brooke had long been a hero of mine, and finding that Halliburton shared this love of Brooke's poetry wa even more amazing. Now nineteen, I have been to Europe four times and am planning a trip to the East . . . mainly because of Richard. He rocks!

My great-grandfather, Henry Smith, was an early Leadville miner - who later homesteaded (1877 - 82)the ranch So. of Leadville where my grandfather, father and I grew up. Henry was born near Omagh, in Co. Tyrone, Ireland (near the Starrs and McPhelemys) i 1844. By 1868, Henry had applied for US citizenship in Pittsburgh, PA, where he was working in the Steel Mills. By 1869 Henry was in what later became Leadville, and is rumored to have been one of the first miners digging on Carbonate Hill East of Lead ille. Henry married Margaret McPhelemy, sister of Thomas Starr's first (Elizabeth McPhelemy) and second (Ann McPhelemy) wives. Having discovered that mining was less lucrative than he first thought, not to mention more unhealthy and dangerous, Henry tu ned to ranching and soon supplied hay, beef, poultry, eggs, butter, milk and trout to the mines, stores and restaurants of Leadville. Henry also had part ownership in several coke kilns around Leadville with his brother-in-law George "Charcoal King" Hath way, and provided much of the coke needed to fire the furnaces of the smelters in Malta and Leadville. The ranch is still a working ranch and is considered home to tens of Henry's grand, great-grand and great-great-grandchildren.

It is so GREAT finding others still around who love and enjoy Halliburton and his adventures. For those that don't know, try reading H. Rider Haggard. I consider them in the same genre. Halliburton is the direct cause of me being bitten by a Gypsy Moth. Want to go and revisit all the sites of his adventures. who wants to go with me?

Richard Halliburton was my Grandfather's favorite author.I read Halliburton books to him when he fell ill and as he died. We then put a quote on his tombstone. Just like Halliburton he had gone on to more travels in unknown territories.

i read my first "real book" at the age of seven and the year would have been 1954. i have never forgotten that book ... it was by richard halliburton's and the title, as i recall it, was seven cities. the description of petra was especially vivid. however trying to locate that book now appears problematic -- i find other halliburton books but no seven cities. am i mistaken about the title? which book contains his exploration of petra?

I found your site while doing a search on Richard Halliburton. He was one of my favorite authors, too. Your site is wonderful! I spent almost an hour there laughing and crying over flamingos and rainbow bridge tributes, etc. I've bookmarked your site and lan to be back soon for another visit. Thanks for an awesome site!

I first read Halliburton when my grandmother showed me some of his books in a 2nd hand bookshop in San Diego. He was one of the romantic figures in the news when she was a girl and she admired his adventures. My favorite story is the night he stayed in t e Taj Mahal. Thank you for putting up this site.

The lowest toll on the Panama Canal ever paid was US$0.36 and was paid by Richard Halliburton who crossed the Canal swimming in 1928.

It is 6:00 AM I have just finished another pass through RH Complete Book of Marvels. My book club meets tonight and we were asked to share our favorite childhood book, so I got out my well-worn copy and began at 10:00 PM last night! Needless to say he s ill has the power to captivate. I have read the guest book and would love to communicate with others about the effect of RH on their lives, but so few left addresses. (Can you imagine what RH would have done with the power of the internet?) Oh, well, I' l just have to start asking people in person. Now there's an icebreaker, "Do you know Richard Halliburton?" This could lead to some very interesting adventures... Nancy Govoni

Richard Halliburton's Book of Marvels should be required by every child and parent--forever. I'vefound a few copies over the years--but in obscure corners. Can't Bobs and Merrill be convinced of the treasure they have?! (If they exist any longer)

I read Flying Carpet & Seven League Boots that I found in my Dad's books when I was first staring to read. I loved them then & still do. Many of his books are available at alibris.com & they have better prices than amazon.
